Trooper MVP Gaming Mouse Review

If you haven’t been following what progress has been made in the last year with gaming mice, allow me to update you on what you’ve missed.

Nothing.

The big three (Microsoft, Logitech, Razer) have yet to reveal their secret plans for world domination, so what better time for small input device manufacturer Wolf King to stake a claim in this quiet market? With their Trooper MVP Gaming Mouse, Wolf King improves upon a product that, a year ago with the original Trooper, had its faults, but showed good promise.

Here’s a brief rundown on its specs:

2400 dpi laser sensor with three on-the-fly sensitivity modes

Seven buttons (two thumb buttons)

Clicky, detented scroll wheel

One touch, rapid fire technology (I’ll discuss further)

Includes CD with drivers and button-mapping software

Like its predecessor, the MVP boasts a large shape, closely resembling that of the popular Logitech G5, though a bit taller. A subtle lip extends on both sides of the mouse to scoop your fingers to reduce drag across the mouse pad. This provides a comfy haven for the thumb to rest just below the two side buttons. The top surface and sides are coated with a rubber-like substance for better grip.

The MVP can toggle between three dpi modes (800, 1600, 2400) quickly at the press of a button. LEDs on the left side of the mouse light up to indicate which dpi mode you’re on.

Above the on-the-fly dpi switching button is the “rapid fire” button which allows users to send off two, three, or four shots of a weapon with one left-click. This allows you to control how much ammo you use as opposed to holding down the left-click button, or simply reduces the number of times you have to press the left-click button when firing away. To help gamers, the scroll wheel lights up three different ways to represent which rapid fire mode you’re currently on.

Belly up, the MVP reveals four Teflon feet, its laser sensor, and not much after that. Teflon feet are essential for mice to reduce friction across your mousing surface.

Ok, so now that we have a good idea what the Trooper MPV mouse has to offer, it’s time to fire up some games and shoot some bad guys. Continued…
